Celebrities are throwing their support behind the newly elected Alabaman senator after he defeated alleged teen molester Roy Moore.

Hillary Clinton lead the charge of the cheerleaders, tweeting to celebrate Doug Jones’ surprise win on Tuesday.

‘Tonight, Alabama voters elected a senator who’ll make them proud,’ the former presidential candidate tweeted. ‘And if Democrats can win in Alabama, we can — and must – compete everywhere. Onward!’

Her husband, and former US president Bill Clinton, also also shared his support, tweeting: ‘Congratulations, Doug Jones. You were a great US Attorney, and you ran a terrific campaign. You deserve this win. It’s a win for the people of Alabama.’

The Clintons were joined by the likes of Julianne Moore, Joe Biden and Kerry Washington who rushed to Twitter to celebrate the Democrat’s victory in the traditionally Republican state.
